The much-awaited Signature Bridge, connecting Wazirabad across the Yamuna to the inner city, was inaugurated amid a surcharged atmosphere Sunday with a scuffle breaking out between the Delhi BJP chief and AAP supporters and both sides blaming each other for the incident, even as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attacked the saffron party for creating a ruckus at the event, which he termed as "unprecedented". During the event, Kejriwal attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while praising the country's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, saying the nation needed bridges, schools and hospitals and not temples and statues. High drama prevailed before the inauguration of the bridge with Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Manoj Tiwari, also the Member of Parliament from the area where the bridge has been constructed, and scores of his supporters and some Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers getting into a scuffle, followed by a blame game between both sides.
